A brand new article by Margriet Ruurs about The Institute for Cross-cultural Exchange and me in the Fall Edition of Canadian Teacher Magazine. Aubrey Davis is the Canadian author of such popular books as Bagels from Benny, Bone Button Borscht & The Enormous Potato. As a storyteller, he knows what makes a good story work & how spellbinding folktales can be. Aubrey learned about storytelling when he traveled across Europe & North Africa as a young man. Here he discovered traditional Teaching-Stories collected by the Afghan writer and educator, Idries Shah.https://canadianteachermagazine.com/2019/09/16/books-not-bombs-creating-global-understanding-through-literacy/ Photo: M.
